My Aloof Husband Can't Stop His Devoted Affection-Chapter 210 - 209:

Chapter 210

Chapter 210: 209:
The next morning, the sky was gray, with the golden sunlight occasionally hidden by clouds, coming and going.
Because Cen Jin was busy with things concerning the new house these few days, the studio’s operations were all handled by Ye Lingran and three newly hired assistants, including the coordination with the Yun Group.
Jiang Baizhou had also freed up some days due to moving into the new house, so the two of them were essentially on a honeymoon of sorts.
Around ten-thirty, Cen Jin groggily opened her eyes. She glanced to the side but didn’t see the handsome figure next to her, and her sleepiness vanished instantly. She supported her slightly sore waist and sat up on the bed, but a sense of discomfort made her stop moving.
Just then, Jiang Baizhou walked in from outside. Seeing her awake, his deep eyes softened rarely. He walked over, sat at the edge of the bed, and gently stroked her beautiful and delicate face, "Awake? Is there anywhere uncomfortable?"
Hearing this, Cen Jin instinctively pulled the thin blanket over her body and glared at him, "What time is it?"
"It’s ten-thirty."
"So late?" Cen Jin’s eyes widened in surprise and instinctively tried to get out of bed, but the discomfort halted her again.
Seeing this, Jiang Baizhou leaned over and asked intimately, "Still feeling unwell?"
"Stop asking, it’s all your fault," Cen Jin pouted at him with a flushed face, full of embarrassment and resentment.
Jiang Baizhou chuckled, "Let’s go to the cemetery this afternoon. You should rest well this morning. I already hung out the sheets from last night. Are you hungry? I went out this morning to buy breakfast. It’s heated in the microwave. If you want to eat, I can bring it over."
Cen Jin touched her stomach and nodded, "Hmm, I am a bit hungry, but I haven’t freshened up yet." She paused for a moment, "Um... could you step out for a bit? I’ll change, and then you can bring the food over?"
"Hmm?" Jiang Baizhou raised an eyebrow, feigning confusion with a laugh, "Still shy? Last night we already..."
"Shut up." Cen Jin’s heart thumped wildly, and the blush spread to the back of her ears. She quickly covered his mouth, interrupting him, "You’re getting a deal and still acting innocent!"
Jiang Baizhou laughed softly, raising his hand to catch her wrist, pressing a gentle kiss on her palm, "Alright, I won’t tease you. You get dressed. I’ll go check on breakfast. Do you want milk or soy milk?"
"Milk."
"Okay," Jiang Baizhou replied warmly, giving her a light peck on the lips before getting up and leaving the bedroom.
After he left, Cen Jin breathed a sigh of relief. Though they had become so intimate, she couldn’t help but feel shy and embarrassed around him.
Enduring her discomfort, Cen Jin quickly changed into her pajamas and went straight to the bathroom to freshen up.
After finishing in the bathroom, Cen Jin saw Jiang Baizhou taking breakfast out of the microwave and placing it on the dining table. Next to the kitchen were several packaging bags and boxes from newly purchased items, probably unpacked by him this morning.
"All done freshening up?"
"Yes."
"Come eat."
"Okay," Cen Jin walked over, careful with her steps, and sat in the chair Jiang Baizhou pulled out for her. She sipped some milk and tasted a bun with her chopsticks, then looked up at him, "Why aren’t you eating? Did you have breakfast already?"
"Yes, I ate. You eat first, I’ll deal with those things," Jiang Baizhou nodded lightly, glancing at the pile of boxes and such by the kitchen.
"Let me help you with it later..."
"No need, just leave the dishes on the table when you’re finished, and I’ll take care of it,"
Cen Jin raised her eyebrows slightly, noticing he was taking on all the household chores himself today. Was it a newfound sense of responsibility, or was he feeling sorry for her because of last night...?
Thinking about it, Cen Jin pouted. She understood his intentions: he saw she was a bit unwell from last night’s activities and wanted her to rest more.
Feeling warm inside, but remembering last night’s passionate moments, she couldn’t help but feel a bit annoyed.
Eventually, she accepted his suggestion. After eating her fill, she left the dishes on the table, returned to the bedroom, and lay down, not to sleep, but to browse through Weibo and WeChat on her phone. She also chatted with Lu Shishu, asking about Yu Feici’s morning situation.
As expected, Yu Feici was late today and decided to take the day off, still lounging at Lu Shishu’s place, refusing to move.
She also checked in with Ye Lingran and Yun Xi. Ye Lingran sent a voice message saying she was fine. However, after waiting for a while, Yun Xi still hadn’t replied, and knowing her, she was probably still asleep.
Cen Jin lay in bed until half-past noon, then got up and went out to take a look. Jiang Baizhou had tidied up the kitchen quite well. Seeing her come out, he walked over and asked, "Are you hungry?"
"No," she replied. Having had breakfast at ten, she wasn’t very hungry. Seeing the originally cluttered items in the kitchen and living room gone, she asked curiously, "Did you clean up everything?"
"Yes, I moved the gifts they brought yesterday to the dressing room. You can check them out later."
"Okay," Cen Jin nodded, "Are you hungry? What’s the plan for lunch?"
"You decide."
"Let’s go out to eat. There’s not much food in the fridge besides the fruits we bought yesterday. It would take too long to buy groceries and cook, and it might not even turn out well."
Jiang Baizhou raised an eyebrow, chuckling, "Alright, after tidying up all morning, I’m a bit sweaty. I’ll take a shower, and you can get ready."
"Sure."
Seeing Jiang Baizhou head to the bathroom for a shower, Cen Jin turned to the dressing room. Considering the afternoon visit to the cemetery, she chose a more subdued outfit, tied up her hair, and applied a simple cushion foundation, selecting a simple bag and some essentials, then waited quietly for Jiang Baizhou.
Over ten minutes later, Jiang Baizhou, refreshed from his shower, emerged from the bathroom, dressed in a white shirt and black casual pants, looking clean and tidy. He glanced at Cen Jin in the living room and took her hand as they stepped out the door.
